DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is a consumer friendly all-in-one aerial photography drone. This is a complete 1080p camera and 3-axis gimbal system which is integrated with Advanced edition quad-copter from DJI called Phantom 3. This Drone is a perfect balance between features, performance and price. The price of this Drone is around Rs 60,000 (approx.) in Indian market, which is considered to be reasonable in the light of the features we get.

The camera integrated with this drone is capable of shooting up to 12MP still photos using JPEG or DNG RAW format. The 3-axis gimbal system gives you pan and tilt control, which helps to keep the horizon line level even as the aircraft banks. Gimbal settings also allow the camera to lock onto a fixed subject or to be moved manually using transmitter rotaries or the Smartphone App. The quadcopter is similar to the previous version Phantom 2. The Phantom 3 is convenient to use and the safety features allow beginners to get flying fast. It also has new sensors and an additional satellite navigation which make flying indoors and outside more stable than those of the previous versions.

The main features of this Quad-copter are:

12-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor

Gimbal Stabilized 1080p Camera

Camera Takes 12MP Still Photos

720p HD App-Based Monitoring

Gimbal Control Dials on Transmitter

Vision Sensor for Indoor Flight

Up to 23 Minutes Flying Time

Intelligent LiPo Flight Battery

Mobile Device Holder Included

The only disadvantage of this Drone is the average battery life and limited Android support. Overall this is a fantastic fun to fly Drone and it is rightly priced too, you will not get other Drones at this cost. Additionally this Drone also comes with a 4K Camera option which is slightly pricey around Rs 30,000 extra.
